Businesses find automation, such as robotic employees, a big asset in terms of productivity and efficiency.

But in recent years, robotics has had increasing impacts on unemployment, not just of manual labour, as computers are rapidly handling some white-collar and service-sector work.

For years politicians have promised workers that they would bring back their jobs by clamping down on trade, off shoring and immigration.

Economists, based on their research, say that the bigger threat to jobs now is not globalisation but automation.

Their business courses now largely cater to the growing demand from China Inc which has become more global, richer and ready to recruit from this sinocentric student body.

Scientists have for the first time managed to edit genes in a human embryo to repair a genetic mutation, fuelling hopes that such procedures may one day be available outside laboratory conditions.

The cardiac disease causes sudden death in otherwise healthy young athletes and affects about one in 500 people overall.

Correcting the mutation in the gene would not only ensure that the child is healthy but also prevents transmission of the mutation to future generations.

It is caused by a mutation in a particular gene and a child will suffer from the condition even if it inherits only one copy of the mutated gene.

In results announced in Nature this week, scientists fixed a mutation that thickens the heart muscle, a condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Some company leaders are basing their decisions on locating offices to foster innovation and growth, as their best-performing inventors suffered the greatest productivity losses when their commutes grew longer.
Shorter commutes support innovation by giving employees more time in the office and greater opportunities for in-person collaboration, while removing the physical strain of a long commute.
This is not always the case: remote work does not automatically lead to greater creativity and productivity as office water-cooler conversations are also very important for innovation.
Some see the link between long commutes and productivity as support for work- from-home scenarios, as many workers have grown accustomed to their commute- free arrangements during the pandemic.
